Jurse l I, I997 <br />City of Mounds View Pia.z�in� �ommission <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Motar�ds View, MN SS t 12 <br />Re: 2975 I�iighvv�y 10 <br />Mour�d� View, MI� <br />Dear F'lanning Comgnissiora: <br />Vd� have subrnitted an applicaiio�n for a si� varian�e. Th� reasor�s for needir�g this <br />varianc� ar� a� folTows. <br />�. To comply wi�h th� sei ba�k requirerner�ts tha# the city has sei for� would r�st�ict <br />visibility of ou� sig�. <br />2. Due to an over sigh� or� my parit, I inadv�rt�ntly l�ad the sign footir�� placed fve feeY <br />frorn th� right of way. The code r�ads t.hat the sign footing should be piaced fif�e�n <br />feet from the right a� way. <br />3. I have research�d the cost of m�vi8g the footi�g and fotuid it Yo be �nore than my <br />budget will ailow. _ <br />I bav� also t�ken measur�meafs of the sight line fram wl�ere th� si�n footing is now <br />versus where it wauid b� if we �vere made to compiy �ith t1�e sign code. Tf we were to <br />inave t�e sign it w�uld reduce the visibility in bath directians over a quart�r mile. T have <br />driven this route repeatedly rrrith som�o�e standing in bot� the existing foot�rsg location <br />and the proposed loca�ion If I was to move this footi�g to the propos�d iocation the tre� <br />line does not give adequat� siopping distarice to enter our business. W� ��e1 that <br />visibiliiy is going to be very important to the success of Spot's Quick Lube. We also do <br />not wa�t people to feei uncomfortable t�yi�g to navigate their way into the Spring Lake <br />Park Road deceieration lane. By Ieaving the sign where it is would give people <br />considerably more tirr�e to make a safe transition from tra�c. <br />Ron Ostrander <br />G�z�era.l Ieia�nager <br />Spot's Quick i,ube, Inc. <br />
